Tying Instructions: As a ghost streamer, I have only used it once and raised several fish, and caught a couple. The main forage baitfish here is the stickleback. Right now they are spawning. The males are guarding the nests and turn a coppery orangish colour. another good fly is a copper body muddler minnow
I put the wing and cheek on as a complete unit
Presentation Tips: Fish along the bank or across the river where there are shallow pools where the sticklebacks would spawn. The sticklebacks are brazing and will defend there nest and chase other minnows away. Then return to there guard duty. I usually give the fly a few quick pulls of line and then cast to another spot, unless I see a follow then I will keep the fly moving.
